Doug has over thirty years of experience in electronics design, the majority as an R&D engineer and project manager at Hewlett Packard and Agilent Technologies, working on various aspects of wireless test instrument development. At Infinetix since 2011, Doug gets great satisfaction working with the Infinetix team to provide creative solutions to our customers' problems.
Doug's primary engineering focus is in field programmable gate array (FPGA) design, using Verilog, VHDL, and System Verilog code-based methodologies to implement control logic, interface circuitry, and digital signal processing algorithms in application specific and reconfigurable hardware. His FPGA/ASIC background includes extensive usage of Xilinx and Altera FPGAs as well as involvement in gate array and standard cell ASIC designs. Doug also has experience in general hardware design (digital, microprocessor, RF, analog), as well as breadth and depth in systems engineering, instrumentation development, and project management.
In addition to his responsibilities at Infinetix, Doug enjoys helping to train the next generation of engineers as an adjunct professor at Gonzaga University, teaching digital logic and FPGA design in the computer engineering department.
